Bowden to sign copies of new book today at Books-A-Million
So much for staying away for a couple of years... Why not just setup on Langford Green before the game, sheesh. My BB respect-o-meter just dropped a couple more ticks.
Mark Schlabach on Expansion
Thought this interesting since he talks about how the SEC would not be interested in FSU.
Schlabach:
Will the ACC and SEC react to Big Ten and/or Pac-10 expansion?
Unless Texas is on the market, it seems unlikely the SEC will react. Adding the Longhorns and other Big 12 schools would expand the SEC's footprint west, but the Longhorns don't seem interested in joining the SEC at this point. It is believed that SEC commissioner Michael Slive's top targets for potential expansion would be Texas and possibly Virginia Tech. Adding schools such as Clemson, Florida State and Miami would improve the SEC's on-field product in football, but it would do little to strengthen its brand name in outside markets. One SEC official told ESPN.com this week that adding teams like the Seminoles and Hurricanes would only be adding schools "that would divide the pie even more." Also, Florida athletics director Jeremy Foley might be reluctant to add FSU and Miami because the Gators have tried to use their SEC membership as a recruiting advantage in their home state. Unless the Big East dissolves, it seems unlikely the ACC would do much in reaction, either.
How befitting would it be...
If the NCAA handed down a one year post-season ban for 2010, most likely to be Bowden's last year, he gets his useless wins back, and lo and behold we run the table that year and are denied going to the MNC bowl and Bowden is denied one of the best swan songs a coach could ever have in winning one last title in his last game of his legendary career, all because TK's arrogant persistent arse, jacka$$!
